Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions?
. . . looks like TMR already sold that pair (sn 23 & 24).

Thanks,   @soix  , I was just now doing some searches and reading on the JA Prism.  I am intrigued by what I have read.  Have you bought from TMR before? Thanks again.

@kennyc  , thank you for sharing your impressions.

750 off for a openbox is not a bad deal and musicdirect has a 60 day SG return policy.  If you don't like it, you can return/get your cash back. @deep_333  , I was thinking along those lines also.

@ozzy62  , yes, MD was pushing them pretty hard for a while, but it's been some time since I have got an email from them about those speakers being part of some kind of sale. @soix  , thanks.  Do you have personal experience with those speakers? ... 
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
@lfromsalem  , my next upgrade (if it ever happens) will be speakers, so I am always kind of interested in the impressions that others are getting from their speaker auditioning experiences.  Do you think that the reason you were less than impress... 
VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05
Sorry, @bunkertoy  , I made a typo and after a certain period of time this site does not allow one to do an edit. I said that I had replaced "the remaining eight" EH (Electro Harmonix) 6SN7s with JJs.  What I meant to say was that I replaced the ... 
Ideas for Pre/Power $9000?
@lfromsalem , I know that you said that you were not blown away by them, but can you expound upon that? Do you remember what they were being driven with when you heard them?

@lfromsalem  , which B&Ws did you listen to?  
VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05
. . . also, I am not familiar with the Bryston. Since ’01 I have been running a Cary V-12 amplifier (12 EL34s, a pair of 6922s, and a pair of EL84s as power source for the 6922s) which is switchable between triode and ultralinear. I almost always ... 
VTL 5.5 vs Cary SLP-05
@bunkertoy  , I've owned a SLP-05 for (I think) going on 3 years now. I have  no experience with the VTL pre that you referred to.  Also, I do not have the golden ear, and it is possible that I may not even have ears that are very good. With that... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
But at least unlike Audio Asylum, lately, A’gon has not been a political-fight-free-for-all. Actually, audio asylum claims it isn’t either, and the way the moderator deals with political posts is he deletes the ones that are contrary to his politi... 
Is my amp good enough?
To me watts are watts I don't know any of the equipment you are running and buying, but regardless, I found this to be an interesting and informative (not to mention civil) discussion.  I will only chime in to add that not all watts are created... 
Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
One has to be careful with absorption. If used it needs to be broad band otherwise it can become a passive equalizer with dull high frequencies  @scottwheel  , can you expound upon that?  
Your last concert was to see who and when?
It was a long time ago. So long ago I am not even sure I remember which was the last. But I am thinking that in the cold months of '03 I drove up tho Philadelphia on kind of the spur of the moment to see Steve Earle at The Living Arts Theater. ...
